LCD Soundsystem

Re: LCD Soundsystem

They were great, i dont know their exact setlist, but they closed with New York, I Love you but your bringing me down, they opened with Us vs. Them, and they played daft punk is playing at my house, and then i think north american scum and Yeah, and a few more

Re: LCD Soundsystem

LCD Soundsystem definitely knows how to put on a show and get the crowd pumped. I was about mid-way back for Justice and then got very close to the front for LCD. The energy in the crowd was awesome. There's something very appealing about nerdy men squealing over dance rock.

Re: LCD Soundsystem

i've seen LCD several times and they're one of my favorite live bands around. saturday's set in the sahara was a bit disappointing for me, though. james murphy seemed pretty wasted and sloppy and didn't bring the energy he usually does. that the show still rocked is a testament to how powerful their songs are and how strong the rest of the band is.

what was the deal with them starting late and playing late? they cut into The Rapture's time. i left the tent after LCD but someone told me the rapture complained on stage about LCD running over. anyone know if this is true?

some guy on the forums was saying that there is beef with the Rapture and James Murphy because they used to be on DFA, but i dunno if them running late was intentional or not because imo it was unrealistic to expect to be able to take Justice's stuff down and set up LCD's stuff in 15 minutes.

No doubt. I ran into my ex on the way to see LCD, she was on her way to see the chilis. Thought it would be cool to hand out for a while, but then realized anyone who would skip LCD for the chili peppers does not belong in my life anymore. Ahhh, freedom is so nice.

Re: LCD Soundsystem

Definitely my favorite set of the fest - but is it just me or does James tend to forget his lyrics fairly often? I thought he screwed up on at least a couple songs (incl. NY I Love You, which you really shouldn't mess up).

This is the 3rd or 4th time I've seen them and it seems like at least once a show he accidentally repeats a verse or forgets it completely. Kind of ironic since he's such a perfectionist and is always adjusting all the equipment and making hand signals to the sound guys during the whole performance...

Re: LCD Soundsystem

It was definitely my favorite set of the weekend. I especially liked his opening where he thanked us for our "diligence" in choosing his set. Had to agree with him there... nothing could've pried me out of that tent once he started.
